Saturday Night Live on Saturday imagined a “bourbon summit” between President Obama and new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
The two prove that with a drink or nine they can certainly get along, even though they still can’t actually work together.
Though they immediately disagree on immigration, by drink four, the two prank call Hillary Clinton.
And after drink six, McConnell marvels that the U.S. has a black president.
“I mean, you ever think about that, a black U.S. president with this country’s history? No one would have thought that,” McConnell says in the skit.
“And no one would have ever thought that the Senate Majority Leader would be a redneck who looks like he lost his lips in a fire,” Obama quips back.
After nine drinks, Michelle Obama comes along to shut the party down.
Watch the clip:
Can’t distinguish cheesy comedy news from the comedy that passes as news…Can’t even imagine wasting my time watching unfunny corporate ‘comedy’ like SNL Watched a few episodes of ‘Clone Wars: Lost Missions’ and ‘The Return of the Invisible Man’…more Universal Monster movies tonight as snow falls.
The guy playing McConnell didn’t sound or act anything like him.
Looks more like Bill Cosby and Jebbie Bush.
Until he was supposed to be drunk.
Try Key and Peele on Comedy Central if you want funny and subversive.
